Boualem Khoukhi scored an equalizing goal on a header in the fourth minute of stoppage time, and Qatar spoiled a dominant day by Switzerland in a 1-1 draw in Group B of the World Cup. Breel Embolo scored for Switzerland from the penalty spot in the first half just over a week after being cleared to enter the U.S. following a visa delay, but the Swiss failed to capitalize on multiple other scoring chances. Switzerland dominated the possession game on an unseasonably warm June afternoon — with sprinklers running during a first-half break. There were thousands of empty seats scattered throughout Levi’s Stadium.
